Beautiful!!!!! Our snow has melted this week and I can see snowdrops, crocus and daffodils coming up. Temps tomorrow are to be in the 60's. I am happy.

Lucky you! Beautiful!

I am at least 6 weeks away from that! Beautiful, Moni.

Aunt Audry those were planted right after I moved in, and planted grape vines. :) Great harbingers of spring. My forsythia is about to burst out too.

I have lots of Crocus blooming now - such a welcome sight!

jEALOUS!

Beautiful! I miss my daffodils, I planted several here and none came up. I have always had lots of them. I need to get more bulbs.

Here the Red Bud trees and bradford pears are all in full glorious bloom. So pretty.

Lucky you! I can smell them. :)

Nothing here but snow and dirty snow. But dirty snow means it's melting and at least we can see the tops of some of the mailboxes again!

Raven, I think, it doesn't get cold enough for them in Houston. When you buy them, put them in the fridge for about 2 weeks or so, before planting. Also, for return flowers, you would have to get them chilled again... which would be a pain in the you know where... ;)

I don't always have luck with tulips, but planted some last year, and the greens are up at this time. I hope, to get a bloom on them this year too.

Squirrels always get the tulips here. :(

I've still got plenty of un-melted snow all around my yard, and a big pile of it at the end of my driveway. I would be happy to see a few crocus or daffodils popping up! Sigh.

I live in Houston and planted my daffodils the winter before this one. This is only my second year of them, but they did come back. The soil here is awful so I just added a bag of compost, garden soil or bagged miracle gro soil on top of whatever was already there and dumped the bulbs on top and added another bag of whatever and some mulch. I did this in the garden beds where I have a rock border to hold everything in. It worked. The mild winters may eventually get me, I haven't been here long enough to find out.

I planted morning glories in one of my good beds last year. My mistake. They are too prolific there. I've probably pulled close to 500 sprouts this week. Going to put another bed for those near my house where they won't be in the way.
